<strong>Jan</strong>uary 20<strong>17</strong> & 23 Dr. Patricia Takacs started Beaumont Family Dentistry more than 30 years ago. The office’s Mission is to provide state-of-the-art, highquality, comprehensive dental care for the entire family in a comfortable environment. With treatment options that include implants and orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, Fastbraces® and sleep dentistry, Beaumont Family Dentistry has an array of services for patients of all ages. “Everybody deserves to have access to high-quality comprehensive dental care that’s also affordable,” said Dr. Takacs. Dr. Takacs’ dental destiny began when she was a child visiting her grandfather’s dental office. “I remember going to his office when I was little,” she said. “Dentistry just was a natural thing for me. I didn’t know I wanted to do it until I was in high school and I mentioned to somebody I was dating that he ought to consider going to dental school. I thought, ‘Wait a minute, I want to go to dental school!’” After graduating with honors from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry in 1983, Dr. Takacs worked as an associate dentist for a year before opening her own office, Patricia E. Takacs DMD, PSC, in 1984. “We outgrew our first location and moved to a second location, outgrew that and in 1999 moved to Beaumont,” she said. “That’s when we changed the name to Beaumont Family Dentistry.” Dr. Takacs’ practice lives up to its name in more ways than one. “When I started in 1983, I took care of some young families, and I am now seeing their kids and their children's children,” Dr. Takacs said. “I have patients I’ve taken care of for 30-plus years.” Emphasizing the family feel even further, members of Dr. Takacs’ own family are in practice with her. Her son, Dr. Ryan J. Golibersuch, also a graduate of the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry, keeps up with the newest dental techniques and technology. He is particularly interested in CEREC CAD/ CAM and 3D cone beam technology and is also trained in IV sedation, which helps patients feel comfortable during long or in-depth procedures. He is pursuing a fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry. Dr. Takacs’ daughter, Dr. Kyle Golibersuch, graduated from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry in May 2015. She has received affiliation with Fastbraces® and is also certified in the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique, which comfortably and effectively treats gum recession. She enjoys taking care of pediatric patients and has a special interest in endodontics. And Dr. Takacs’ 86-year-old mother, Pat Takacs, is the office cookie baker and coffee maker. She calls patients, sends birthday cards and writes welcome notes to new patients by hand. Also on staff are Dr. Jill Miller, who began her career working as a dental assistant with Dr. Takacs before graduating from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry and now has advanced training in laser and implant dentistry, endodontics, cosmetics, Fastbraces® and Invisalign; Dr. Katie Bowen, who graduated with distinction from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry in 2014 and has trained in CEREC, Invisalign and implant dentistry; and Dr. Erica Higginbotham, also a graduate of the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry, a Fastbraces® affiliate and a Preferred Provider of Invisalign who has also volunteered locally and abroad in underprivileged areas. Dr. Takacs, the co-author of Principles for Success Vol. 2 and A Cup of Coffee With My Dentist, believes that everybody deserves to have access to high-quality comprehensive dental care that’s also affordable.
